Did Ben post on my board?
I have NO idea if this was really Ben or not because he has been known to visit sites devoted to him in the past. Or this could be a dumb joke by someone w/ too much time on their hands. Anyways, if it was Ben and he does visit again...I hope that he does, that he enjoys this site, and that he emails me w/ proof and/or posts agian with some verification! It'd be great if it was true!

Q 1. On the last board, you mentioned that there were serious plans for a sequel to one of your non-Kevin Smith films. Which one?
I'm guessing either Good Will Hunting or Armageddon. Good Lord, tell me it's not Phantoms 2!
2. Are you still considering doing Die Hard 4 with Bruce?
BEN:
1. It would be ungentlemanly of me to comment on that, especially considering its not a done deal yet. But there are definite
throaty rumblings-- though i haven't talked to the director himself.
2. there is no DH4 (that I know of) no script, no offer, no movie.
Q After seeing Good Will Hunting the first time, I noticed several scenes looked like places on the University of Toronto campus.
I'm a U of T student at one of the smaller campuses, and I'd love to know exactly where these scenes were filmed at U of T, and
what made Ben and Matt choose U of T to film at.
(note: I am not a teenage fangirl looking to get Ben's e-mail address. I admire his work, and am a somewhat-mature fan :) I'm
just curious)

BEN:
We were told that we had to shoot some of the movie in Toronto for money reasons. We'd have liked to maintain the continuity of
the setting and do it all in Boston-- but Canada was much cheaper. The locations that were used were the least conspicously
different ones.
(About the movie Rushmore) Q. Someone told me that it was his first movie - but I haven't confirmed that - which makes it even more impressive to me.
He wasn't even an actor. He was approached at a party and asked to audition. I'm going to see the movie tomorrow (i can't
wait).
Jason Schwartzman is the son of Talia Shire, the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, and the cousin of Nicolas Cage. I assure you
that he was not just found at some party.
BEN:
Nobody is 'just found at some party' but the most his familial connections got him was an audition. He got the role on merit-- and
deserved it. i thought the movie was really, really good.
PS. you forgot that he's also the nephew of John Schwartzman, DP of The Rock, armageddon and Ed Tv. Think that helped too?
Q: Hi, Ok, Just wanted to ask you a few questions and I probably have a one in a
hundred chance that this will ever be answered, but I decided to give it a shot.
1)I must be obsessed w/ this question or something, because this is a question
that I have been wanting to ask for awhile. You said you would like to reprise
your Chasing Amy role, so my question is why? I asked Kevin if he would ever
sequel the film and he said no. I expected that answer. But, hypothetically, if
you were to cowrite w/ Kevin on another one, what kind of ideas would you
come up with? I personally like the ending, it seems more real. Would you want
to resolve it? 2)Do you consider golf, auto-racing, and bowling, sports? 3)What do you think of when you hear or see the word PEACE? This is a
legitimate question. I have an upcoming graphic desgn project where I have to
design and create a poster concerning the topic of Peace. I just want input
from different people. Gives me ideas. Actually, if someone reads this, will you email me and tell what you think?
BEN:ANSWER #1-- i have said before that I would do anything with Kevin, in fact
he's the only guy I'd consider "sequelizing" anything with (which includes the
other rumored sequel to a movie I was in.) this also includes your JB movie,
Kevin which i talked to Chad and Jerry about. They said you claimed to be able
to 'deliver me' to which i replied simply, "that he can." ANSWER #2-- yes, and movies art (sometimes)
ANSWER #3 The prefix "a" comes to mind...
Q: Is it less intimidating than the old one? Is it something you could see yourself
using instead of posting here on the main board? As one who tends to avoid the
OWB for weeks at a time since it's so hard to keep up with, I say this new
format is much easier to use and peruse. It'll bring a lot more folks over to the
OWB and help clear thee traffic up here.

BEN:Vincent, you got me all excited. I thought you were talking to me... i should be
down there this week. Hope to see you then...
